Possible ByElection.
[If MPs approve the suspension it could lead to a by-election in his Blackpool South constituency. Mr Benton had the Tory whip withdrawn earlier this year and sits as an independent. In a meeting with newspaper reporters posing as gambling industry investors, he was caught offering to lobby ministers and table parliamentary questions. As part of his sanction, Mr Benton would also lose his salary for the duration of any suspension. A suspension of more than 10 days - if passed by the House of Commons - triggers a recall petition. If 10% of voters in his constituency sign the petition a by-election would be called.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67714132 |

If he has the tiniest shred of decency, he'd resign as an MP now he's lost this appeal.

[MPs have approved a motion to suspend
Blackpool South MP Scott Benton from the Commons for 35 days. Mr Benton's suspension exceeds the 10-day threshold that triggers a recall petition and potentially a by-election. The ex-Tory, who is now an independent broke Commons rules when he was caught by the Times offering to act on behalf of gambling investors. An independent panel upheld a decision by the Standards Committee, which Mr Benton had appealed against.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-68419849 Update Not called just yet Sorry for other posting |
